About the Project

Randstad Deutschland has been relying on hosting and managed services by itelligence for nine years. A team of experts operates and maintains the various SAP systems in itelligence’s Bautzen data center. In total, it serves 3,500 active users – spread over SAP ERP, SAP BusinessObjects BI, SAP CRM and various other solutions. “The working relationship was wonderful from the word go,”says Anneliese Sauerer, Manager Business Applications at Randstad Deutschland. “We have 99.72% system availability, and itelligence guarantees downtime of no more than two hours even in critical cases.”

Using Innovations Together

Given this positive experience, it seemed obvious to take the next step with itelligence too: “We see ourselves as an innovative company,” states Saurer “and itelligence is on the same wavelength. The hosting experts react rapidly and think ahead.” As a result, itelligence was first choice when it came to migrating the SAP system databases in 2016. Randstad switched to SAP HANA to prepare for rising expectations in the digital age. SAP oversaw the technical migration, which was implemented on itelligence servers. “The three companies cooperated excellently,” says Ralf Döring, Vice President & Head of Sales for Managed Services Germany at itelligence. “Communication was open and solution-driven. SAP, itelligence, Randstad all pulled together and implemented the project quickly.”
